"Did you hear that?" Kat asked, turning to stare at the hatch door.

"What?" Hot Dog said as he took a step towards her.

A small moan echoed through the seal of the door. "There it is again!" Kat yelled with a cry. "Someone's moaning in there."

"Probably just the CAG working out his frustration," Racetrack said with a laugh. She had joined the pilots waiting to use the head about fifteen minutes ago and was already starting to regret her decision to go along with that stupid triad bet. She had just come off of CAP and was about as sweat-soaked as you could get.

The moans started to get louder and began to take the form of words.

"Was that the CAG's name I just heard?" Racetrack asked as she pulled herself to her feet.

"I think so," Kat said with a laugh. "And I think it was Starbuck who was moaning it!"

"Stop acting like little children," Helo said from his position leaning against the corridor wall. "As much as your little perverted minds would like to think it, Apollo and Starbuck are not in there fraking. It's against regulations, and besides, those two are like best friends. It would be too strange."

"I don't know," Racetrack said. "If I was best friends with Lee Adama, I think I would still want to frak him any chance I got."

Helo was about to respond when the moans got even louder and began to cry for whomever or whatever to go harder. "I bet Starbuck cooked this all up just to make you guys think she was screwing the CAG."

"But he would have to go along with it," Kat pointed out from her current position of smooshing her ear up against the door. "And I don't think our CAG's that type of guy." She squeaked as a loud grunt that was decidedly male traveled through the door.

"Well, he either went along with her plan or they're actually fraking," Hot Dog said with a laugh.

Kat's eyes went wide as the moans turned into screams. "Come on, guys. They have to be fraking."

"Fraking with your minds," Helo said, shaking his head. "I've had enough of this little show, though. I have better things to do. And in case you guys don't remember, there are other heads on this ship. You can shower there."

"And miss the Starbuck/Apollo show?" Kat replied. "No fraking way."

Lee collapsed to the ground with Kara in his arms, the water from the shower still beating down upon them. She rested her head on his shoulder and let out a breath. "That was nice," she giggled.

"Yeah."

"Do you think anyone heard me?"

"I think the whole ship might have."

"You wanted me to scream."

"And you did."

"Yeah. It was nice."

"You keep saying that." Lee reached up to turn the water off. "But you're right. It was quite nice."

"Do you think we can do it again?" she said, laughing as she lay herself flat against the shower floor.

Lee shook his head and got up to grab a few towels. "I don't know about that. A man has his limits. You put me on edge all day long and then just gave me the ride of my life. I need some recovery time."

Kara shot an eyebrow up at him. "I bet I could change fix that."

Lee took the towels in hand and turned to look at her. His eyes widened as he took in her full naked form lying in post-coital bliss. Her hands were working their way down her body to rest between her thighs. Lee felt his body jump to life.

"There are people out there waiting to get their time in the head," he said even though she could feel his eyes locked on her body. He was enjoying this even as he struggled to do the right thing. She really needed to get him to loosen up more.

Chucking a towel at her, he grinned. "Cover up, Lieutenant."

She stuck her tongue out at him but stood up and did as she was told. His words had a hint of truth to them. She had made the other pilots wait way too long to get their turn at the showers. It wasn't really fair, bet or no bet. Still, that wasn't the biggest worry on her mind at the moment. "We should talk about this, Lee."

"Nothing to talk about," he said over his shoulder as he turned to wrap his own towel around his body.

She smiled and gave him a nod even as her heart fell just a little bit. Something had just happened between them that she was pretty sure she had never experienced before. And for the first time in her life, she felt compelled to talk about it. It figured that now would be the time he chose to finally shut her out.

Biting her lip so that she wouldn't do something stupid like start to cry, she pulled the towel a little tighter around her body and decided it was time to break their little peaceful interlude and return to the real world.

Her hand was within inches of opening the hatch when Kara felt him grab her. Her back made contact with the door as Lee pulled her into a kiss very similar to the one that had started this whole mess. It went from light and teasing to deep and heavy and then back again. Frankly, it tore her heart in two even while it made her soar.

After a few minutes, he pulled back and gave her one of his trademark lazy smiles.

"Something on your mind, Captain?"

"I was just thinking. We do have a whole twelve hours left on this little experiment we won."

"Yeah?" she said, pulling the hatch door open.

"I just thought that maybe you might help me out with a few more of my drives," he whispered as they stepped into the corridor.

Kara was about to respond to his very open invitation when she realized they had a fairly large audience. In fact, it looked like the whole damn Fleet.

"Peaceful shower, Starbuck?" Kat asked.

"The best. You know I'm really enjoying the perks of this little bet." Her eyes scanned the people in front of her before resting on the man standing next to her. "And I plan on enjoying it for the next twelve hours, too. After I get some rack time, of course. That shower wore me out."

Lee's eyes flashed with desire as she gave him one more smirk before stepping away.

"So, Apollo, I have a question for you." Lee turned to look at Hot Dog. "Have you even done anything with the little privilege you won? I mean, Starbuck's been all over the place making requests and demands. But there's been nothing from you."

"I told Starbuck this before. Most of the drives I have aren't that out of the ordinary. Nothing that you would even notice." Giving them one last smile, Lee stepped away. For some reason, he felt the need to go back to the bunkroom to catch some sleep even though he had been there only a few hours earlier.

"They so didn't frak," Kat said, shaking her head and stepping into the head. "What a waste."
